Subject: [xsl] Re: Any way to specify diagnostic message for missing stylesheet parameter? From: "David Sewell dsewell@xxxxxxxxxxxx" <xsl-list-service@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 16 Oct 2014 13:14:25 -0000 |
You can define a default value of parameter in a way to report omission:
<xsl:param name="somevar"> <xsl:sequence select="'default'"/> <xsl:message select="somevar is not specified"/> </xsl:param> -- VN
-----Original Message----- From: David Sewell [mailto:dsewell@xxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, October 15, 2014 7:19 PM To: xsl-list Subject: Any way to specify diagnostic message for missing stylesheet parameter?
Given a stylesheet parameter <xsl:param name="somevar" required="yes"/>, failing to supply a parameter value at run-time results in a boilerplate error message such as "XTDE0050: No value supplied for required parameter somevar".
It would be helpful to be able to supply a custom error message such as "required: somevar=[true|false|unknown]" to save the user the time it takes to look through the code to figure out what parameter is expected. There's no way to do this in the XSLT spec through 3.0, correct? and no common extensions for doing it?
If not, would that be a useful feature for others, or are there reasons not to implement something like that as an extension or enhancement?
